The IADC is pleased to invite you to the annual International Corporate Counsel College in Rüschlikon on 24 - 25 October 2019.

FRIDAY, 25 OCTOBER

8.00 – 9.10 a.m.The BEEs – Maximizing Business Efficiency and Effectiveness with the Right In-House Legal Set-UpCorporate legal departments are increasingly managing complex legal matters in-house and are being relied upon as trusted business advisors by members of the C-Suite. In order to cope with ever-changing business demands and limitations on capital and human resources, chief legal officers have adopted various organizational structures. Our panelists from a diverse set of industries and unique perspectives will discuss the pros and cons of various in-house legal department organizational structures. They will reveal the challenges they face (internally and externally) to “get the job done right” and share the insights they have gleaned from years of toil in the trenches.

KG, Dachau, Germany; Paul Salazar, Senior Counsel, Siemens AG, Munich, Germany

9.10 – 9.15 a.m.Break

9.15 – 10.25 a.m.Smart Contracts: Everything You Wanted to Know, but Never Dared to Ask...All of a sudden they are everywhere: conferences and seminars on blockchain and smart contracts. While most seasoned lawyers may not feel ‘smart enough’ to have to deal with them, your internal or external clients are expecting you to add value. This panel will explore various applications of blockchain and will explore how it is relevant for your day-to-day work. The technical basics of the blockchain technology will no longer be a mystery to you and the panel will demonstrate via a case study how to actually set up a smart contract application, both the business case and the legal side of it...just in case you get warmed up and want to start immediately with designing your own application when you get back home.

Moderator: Ianika Tzankova, Tzankova Legal Consulting/Tilburg University, Tilburg, NetherlandsPresenters: Falco Kreis, CMS Hasche Sigle, Munich, Germany; Gabriela Lippe-Holst, Co-Founder and Director, Acqupart Holding AG, Zug, Switzerland; Jimmy Nguyen, Strategic Advisory Board – nChain, Founding President, Bitcoin Association, Seattle, Washington USA

10.25 – 10.40 a.m.Break

10.40 – 11.55 a.m.Handling International Disputes: Three Current and Eternal ChallengesThe panel will discuss these perpetual issues:

1. Losing a case on procedure: Facing requests for producing evidence is a specific challenge when it is alien to your own legal culture. How should you prepare for international disputes in this regard? How should you react when it comes up and how can you potentially overcome these cultural gaps? 2. David vs. Goliath: What should you consider when companies have to fight against state (entities)? Companies investing in (foremost) emerging markets do have to deal with governmental interference as an additional hurdle. Today’s regime on Foreign Investment protection offers additional remedies in such cases. This section creates an awareness for these remedies and demonstrates how often foreign companies as investors might rely on these mechanisms. 3. Handling disputes in Asia: Is it the same, but also (very) different? What are special features, challenges, and chances when facing a dispute in Asia?

Come hear solutions to these international dispute concerns and take them back to your practice.
